Title: New (old) job
Post by: bezzabsa on April 06, 2006, 18:15:16
well after going back to work this week after 5 weeks with the prolapsed disk, I have decided to quit this job and go back to my old employer, means a drop in wages (family tax make it up tho ;) ) but its a company where you feel you actually fit in! unlike the bunch of back stabbing moaning gits i currently work with!! :evil:
still HGV driving but at least I have my own lorry so can safely keep my gear in it, fed up of lugging bags of tackle from  wagon to another - just because they cant be arsed to sort their act out..

just thought id tell you.....nothing to do with 4x4's but heh!!

you wont believe how much stuff you can get in a truck just had to empty mine tonight as i am getting my new wagon on monday and when i took all my stuff out of the wagon it filled the boot and back seats of my rr :shock: .

And good look with your new old job. I know what you mean about having your own truck it is so much nicer. and easier to keep clean

A Shopping trolley puts a Volvo to shame, in most areas...

The new MANs are pretty nice, although at the moment I personally think the DAFs are the ones to have, and watching the motorway a lot of people do.

well I should be in a Scania 94d 220..in fact the same scania i was driving 3 years ago :D...nice bit of kit, but needs a design makeover, has loads of storage lockers, but none of which you can reach while driving, so anything i need on the journey has to live on the bunk!!
also need to stop to open or shut the sunroof, so if its sunny when you set off and then rains..pain in the posterior :evil:

We'll order you a nice V8 Topline R series with electic sunroof, leather interior and walnut dash, oh and only 620bhp to play with  :shock:  8) . Get to play with these as I work for your local Scania dealership  :lol:  :D

Drove a FH12 Globetrotter on full air suspension to Breda in Holland for MOT, nice. Drove back none stop, took 15 hours and managed to have a kip on the ferry so I didn't feel too bad for the 12 hour shift in the workshop  :roll:  :? .

Ahh so Rigids then? at 220 I assume it's a 6 legger, an 8 would struggle like hell.

As for the D I'm not sure, I know the quarry wagons tend to be the C Series.

I will agree with you on the daf xf cabs they do look nice and have loads of room. The boss got one of the other drivers a iveco stralis and what a bag of .... that is all cheap plastic and a shed to drive. So i asked for the man and he got me one. Think the other driver is a bit miffed at it as is soooo much nicer than the iveco

Round here the local road panning spot have a little 6 wheeler that drags the panning equipment, 6 tipper with a 430 engine in it, bet that's a little beastey. (DAF CF btw)

We don't really see MANs in the Tipping work, too heavy by the time you've got Chassis, cab and body on. Same goes for Mercs, and Iveco's are just plain garbage.
